Default swap price

what would be the average price to swap a b16a into a 1990 integra gs. also would it be better to do this than do a rebuild on my current engine. tha current has 225,000 miles on it right now. also what kind of down time am i looking at. thanks for any help given. chris

I asked xat racing the same question and they told me around $3200 for the motor and install and they said it would take a couple of days to get the motor and about a week to drop it in.

I'd pick up a b16a head and rebuild your bottom end for lsvtec. If you've got the cash then get the tranny too.

If you wanted to do a b16a swap our shop could probably get that done for about $2000. Swap would take one or two days from the time when we recieve all the parts.

I've heard some horror stories about Osaka. Hmotorsonline.com gets a thumbs up from us.

Another thing. There will be alot of leftover parts like axles, mounts and your old motor that could be sold to offset the cost.
